Dubai resumes limited flights amid the Middle East conflict. Here’s what Indian travellers must know about rebookings, airline updates and safe travel planning.
Dubai Airports has announced a limited resumption of flight operations.
For thousands of Indian travellers, Dubai isn’t just a stopover but a lifeline. A gateway home, a business corridor, and one of the busiest transit hubs connecting India to the world. So when operations paused here due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, ripple effects are immediate.
Now, there’s cautious movement again. Dubai Airports has begun a limited, phased restart at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) after recent regional security tensions forced temporary airspace closures across parts of the Middle East.
What’s Actually Operating
Only a small number of flights are being permitted, largely prioritising stranded passengers and essential travel. The restart is tightly controlled and airline-led, meaning departures are happening strictly by confirmation.
In its advisory, Dubai Media Office wrote, “Dubai Airports confirms that a limited resumption of operations will begin today evening, 2 March, with a small number of flights permitted to operate from Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International (DWC). Travellers are advised not to proceed to DXB or DWC unless they have been contacted directly by their airline with a confirmed departure time.”
What Travellers Need To Know
Major Gulf carriers, including Emirates, Etihad Airways, and flydubai, have confirmed limited operations, focusing on repatriation and previously rebooked passengers. On the Indian side, Air India and IndiGo continue to monitor the situation with limited operations, with schedules subject to rapid changes depending on airspace permissions.
Smart Travel Moves Right Now
First, stay flexible. Same-day schedule shifts are likely. Avoid tight connections or non-refundable add-ons. Second, rely only on official sources – airline apps, verified advisories, and embassy alerts. Social media clips can show planes landing, but they don’t guarantee seat availability. Third, pack for uncertainty. Extra medication, chargers, and essentials in cabin baggage can make unexpected delays manageable. Travel insurance that covers cancellations and rerouting isn’t optional in this climate – it’s protection.

Multiple Middle East airspaces remain sensitive, and further adjustments are possible. The current restart is simply the first step toward stabilisation.
For Indian travellers, the takeaway is simple: flights are moving again, but selectively. Confirmation, not assumption, is your green light.
